I ran through a blog that I frequent last week, and came across this video. Did a quick search for it here, and didn't find it, so here's the trailer.

Kidnapped for Christ trailer

It's in post production, they're awaiting donations to finish it up and release it. I can't believe that this crap still goes on. Unfrickingbelievable .

Is this true? Sweet fuck! How can this be allowed?

Because everyone has freedom of speech, even idiots. It's the price you pay for fairness and equality.

My girlfriend is mad at me. Perhaps I shouldn't have tried cooking a stick in her non-stick pan.

(seriously though, I think the parents are consenting, it's just the kids who aren't.)

Dammit, the like button is so close to the reply button.

Anyway, plenty of parents abuse their children themselves. How is consenting to abuse by proxy any better?

I'll take that like, and raise you one.

The whole abuse issue i one thing, but these children are being sent from America all the way to D.R. to "cure" their homosexuality, atheism, drug use, or what have you. I think they treat it the same way as, say, a parent sending their overly aggressive child to a boot camp.

The situation is different if the child is so aggressive they pose a danger to people around them. That's not analogous to "treating" a child for atheism or homosexuality.
